Application of kepok banana peel activated carbon prepared by conventional and microwave heating for malachite green adsorption

Synthesis of monolith silica anchored graphene oxide composite with enhanced adsorption capacities for carbofuran and imidacloprid

“…The qe value calculated from the pseudo 2nd order model (3.331 mg g −1 ) and that calculated experimentally (3.317 mg g −1 ) at 20 ℃ are closely related to each other as shown in Table 4 and Fig. 9 C. The higher R 2 value and closeness of the qe values (calculated and experimental) suggests that the data of adsorption of carbofuran on the surface of composite follow pseudo second order kinetic model and the adsorption is physisorption 62 .…”

“…9C. The higher R 2 value and closeness of the qe values (calculated and experimental) suggests that the data of adsorption of carbofuran on the surface of composite follow pseudo second order kinetic model and the adsorption is physisorption 62 . www.nature.com/scientificreports/ Similarly, for imidacloprid the higher R 2 (0.9967) value favors the pseudo second order model in comparison to the pseudo first order model (R 2 = 0.7873) and intra particle diffusion (R 2 = 0.5674) at 30 ℃ given in Fig.…”

Data on characterization, model, and adsorption rate of banana peel activated carbon (Musa Acuminata) for adsorbents of various heavy metals (Mn, Pb, Zn, Fe)

“…Furthermore, the sample was carbonized at a temperature of 473 K for 24 h, and the substance was activated chemically using a diluted 25% concentration of HCl solution. Furthermore, the banana peel activated carbon was stirred for 2 h and then put into the oven at 80°C for 4 h. [2] . The preparation steps are illustrated in Fig.…”

Isotherm and kinetics of methylene blue removal byMusa acuminatapeel adsorbents

“…A huge volume of dye effluent is discharged into the streams without proper treatment, subsequently damaging the ecosystem and food chain [1]. Considering the negative implications, it is crucial for the dyes to be removed from the effluent prior to be released into the water bodies [2]. The existing techniques to treat dye-containing wastewater include coagulation, flocculation, chemical oxidation, ozonation, ultrafiltration, photochemical degradation, and biological degradation.…”

“…Carbon-based adsorbent is commonly used for the removal of organic pollutants and dyes in wastewater treatment [2,6]. The adsorbent derived from the industrial and agricultural wastes is an indispensable replacement for the non-renewable and expensive commercial adsorbents.…”
